British Gas BOC.
Turbo Mini Forums

Utterly utterly incompetant buffoons.

If you are like myself with this shower of idiots for your gas or electric I pity you.

If you are lucky enough not to be with them, whatever you do, DO NOT go with British Gas.

I have a faulty electricity meter, at present I'm getting charged through the nose. This morning I've stayed in for a guy to come and swap the meter, he turned up and said that he isn't authorised to do it.

On phoning British Gas I've been passed around numerous people, three different people then asked me "what did I think was the matter with it"

I'M NOT A BLOODY ELECTRICITY METER ENGINEER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!

I'm so angry I'm ready to get the sledge out of the garage and smash their poxy meter to pieces.

disconnect the tails first or pull the big fuse out

LOL! Advice on how to smash the meter! Love it!

hahahaha i have an image of you swinging the BFH into the meter, and then getting an electric shock in a Blanka stylee

Threatening them on the phone seems to work.

Some friends on their farm were having problems with the electricity company demanding money that had been paid already.

In the end after a snotty women on the end of the phone got lippy, my friend told them to stuff the electricity as they have generators, and that if the issue was not resolved by the next day, they would chainsaw the posts across their ground taking out power to the whole village!

They backed down after that. Thing is, my friend would have actually cut the posts down

I got told to stop shouting after the third silly woman asked me what I thought was wrong with the meter...........

Tom, the next time they ask what you think is wrong with the meter, tell them you think it has a identity dissorder, it clearly beleives its Richard Bransons meter as he's the only person with enough money to pay for all the electricity your meter thinks you are getting through.

you should try getting a new supply out of them - in some cases at the moment its taking longer to get a new supply to a site than it is to build a brand new building the supply is for!
